I swear I still believe but I don't know
"Not for us," Ronin murmurs; as a demigod of life, of course he automatically considers those who don't have immortality to fall back upon. And it would be easy to fall into that rabbit hole, but luckily Remi cuts him off - and besides, The Family could demonstrably cause untold damage to their loved ones with or without Wilde's Rapier, given how easily the two Taliesins had been bested. Grumbling to himself in response to the other man's teasing and managing another faint smile, it's only because they'll likely break the step and fall right through it if he tugs Remi into his lap that Ronin rises to his feet instead.
"I think that's probably the best idea you've ever had," he mutters, drawing the Bastion with him so he might be able to sink properly into his arms, Ronin's head dropping to rest on his shoulder. "I should have called you as soon as he took a swing at me," he mumbles into the side of his neck; that guilt, at least, can't be assuaged. It had been a mis-step on Ronin's part, and not one he plans to make again.
Slipping his hands into Remi's back pockets and letting his eyes drop shut, Ronin can only nod in response to the other man's questions. "Mm, it was in the Hollowed Grounds. The void was just working its way in from the Greatwood. Looking back I can see all kinds of red flags, but at the time... it was just a conversation. A quick one. He really could've been anyone."
